Lemon Balm

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a bushy herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the mint family. It is native to the Mediterranean region and Central Asia, but is now grown worldwide. The plant grows to about 0.6 meters (2 feet) tall and has wrinkled, toothed, heart-shaped or oval leaves that are borne in pairs along the square stems. The leaves have a mild lemon aroma and are used to flavor foods and make herbal teas.  Lemon balm is easy to grow and is often cultivated as an attractive border plant or ground cover, and its flowers are a good nectar source for bees and other pollinators.
